Support Gun Violence Prevention Measures

Defend An Act Modernizing Firearm Laws: LWVMA will participate in the Vote Yes for a Safe Massachusetts campaign to defeat the Massachusetts Firearm Regulations Referendum (2026). This is a veto referendum that will be on the November 2026 ballot to repeal An Act Modernizing Firearms Laws; Chapter 135 of MA General Laws. LWVMA supported the passage of this law during the previous legislative session. A YES vote upholds the law as is. A NO vote repeals the law. Learn more and take action via the campaign website. LWVMA is a member of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, a 100+ member organization working to eradicate all forms of gun violence from the Commonwealth. The Coalition is leading the effort to defend An Act Modernizing Firearm Laws.
